brochure
Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) is a meshless method of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) specifically conceived to analyse liquid flows, from the most common liquids like water and oil, to the most complex ones such as highly viscous consumer products, adhesives, polymers, and foods or even semi-solid materials like grease or organic waste.
This publication is a collection of papers addressing different industrial sectors and covering applications ranging from lubrication of transmissions, cooling of engines, prevention of aquaplaning, and fire extinguishing, to the electrification of mobility solutions and the study of snow drifts.
